The Lung Health Cohort Study is NOT a clinical trial and NO medications are administered. It is an observational study of healthy individuals that will last for approximately five (5) years. The baseline visit will take place at the site with additional information collected remotely (e.g., electronically, over the phone or by mail). After that, participants will be contacted remotely up to four (4) times per year. Purpose of the baseline visit is to determine eligibility, obtain study data, draw blood, collect nasal samples and conduct low-dose CT scan. Brief follow-ups are used to update contact information and gather additional details related to health and exposures.

Yes, compensation will be provided upon completion of initial baseline visit and based upon response to follow-up communications.
